Pre-conference Workshop
Western and Chinese Constitutional Types
Modern medicine “proves” a medicine’s effectiveness with statistics. If a certain number of people improve using a procedure or medication, it’s considered “proven.”
But what about the people who didn’t improve, or the people who actually got worse?
The missing element in all of this is the idea of constitution, which asks the question, “Who has the problem?”
All traditional systems of medicine understood the idea of constitution, which is that people are different and often require different therapies to recover from the same ailment. Iridology is the most powerful tool we have for understanding constitution, and over the years I’ve observed how iridology meshes with traditional systems of constitutional typing, such as the Western sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic types and the Chinese wood, fire, earth, metal, and water constitutions.
In my presentation, I’ll share information about these traditional systems of constitutional typing and how they interface with iridology types. I’ll also explain why you must always consider constitution when determining any type of treatment or therapy.
